If the Bills defence didn’t shatter against the Rams last week and Josh Allen kept them in the game with his super powers then Buffalo could have been the favourites here. Detroit are getting what they need from their injury replacements on defence as Dan Cambell continues to drive his team to the best record in the NFC. 

The engine room of Davicd Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs are going to be the difference against Bills as they have been for the Lions all season long. Gibbs and Montgomery will work the grind on the ground setting the foundation for Jared Goff to find his free men downfield.

Montgomery has proved to be a viable receiver this season recording 20+ yards receiving in 8 of his past 10 games with an average of 23.85/G this season. Watch for him getting open from the backfield while Gibbs breaks for another 20+ yard explosive run.

  • Detroit has won 11 straight games.
  • David Montgomery has had 20 or more receiving yards in his past 6 matches.
  • Jamyr Gibbs has had a 20+ yard run in 8 of his past 10 games this season.
  • Buffalo gives up an average of 44.5 yards receiving to opposing running backs.

Buffalo Bills Form


Josh Allen kept Buffalo’s match against the Rams respectable with a superhuman performance that broke the NFL record as the only quarterback in history to have 3 passing touchdowns and 3 rushing touchdowns in the same game. But despite the Bills QB’s efforts they still went down to L.A 44-42, with the Rams offence scoring at will and controlling the game with 17 more minutes of possession.

With Josh Allen the Bills offence is arguably the most dangerous in the NFL and is deserving of a Super Bowl, however, the defence is not. The Bills rank 14th in the NFL with 332 opposition offensive yards per game. They are susceptible to the run with a yards per rush of 4.7, 26th in the NFL, while they allow the fifth best completion rate to opposing quarterbacks. 

For the Bills to go all the way their defence is going to need to tighten things up and they will be up against it this week against the Lions.

Detroit Lions Form


Detroit keep on rolling despite dealing with injuries to their defensive line and linebackers. Their latest victim Green Bay, 34-31 extending their win streak to 11 games and a 12-1 record on the season to lead the NFC.

It was another complete performance by the Detroit offence with 391 total yards with Jared Goff throwing 3 TDs and 283 yards, while the engine room was driven by the run game of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.

With the defence trying to get healthy the weight has been put on the Lions offence and it is holding. Their versatility to move the ball down field is uncanny with all 6 receivers in the match against Green Bay all making 5+ receptions.
